I still remember it vividly. 23 years ago, at Old Saybrook High School, I was sitting in 3rd period Physics when we received the news that the first tower had been hit. We all went to the library and saw the second tower get hit. I will never forget the feelings I had that day – fear, numbness, sadness.

PURA’s decision today to approve an $80 million dollar rate adjustment for Eversource and United Illuminating customers to enhance the state’s EV charging grid is insulting. It is even more insulting is the fact that only 2.5% of Connecticut’s cars are electric and the rest of us are paying. You will soon see this charge added to the Public Benefits portion of your bill.

I reiterate my call and that of my Republican colleagues to the governor’s office to come into Special Session and work on solutions…
